""Waymo handled this well," Walz says."
""I assume this isn't much different than if a big concert had just ended. Eventually, they disabled all rides within a 2 block vicinity until the morning.""
""Everyone was giddy, and when another car showed up there were cheers.""
Riley Walz created multiple provocative local apps and staged a prank that drew media attention. Walz gathered 50 people at a San Francisco dead‑end street and had each person order a Waymo at the same time, then no‑showed, incurring $5 fees per person. The coordinated no‑shows left Waymo vehicles unable to immediately exit the location. The prank occurred in July and was documented on social media later. Waymo responded by disabling rides within a two‑block radius until morning. Walz praised Waymo's handling despite potential risks like service bans or retaliation.
